Inside the castle of Zhonggo.

Bai Yan knelt in front of the wooden table in the study, looking at the bamboo slips, Xun Shuo on the other side was also talking to Bai Yan, and outside the study, holding the saber on his waist, he came all the way to the study, glanced at Xu Shi who poured tea, and then looked at Bai Yan.

"General, there are thirty-seven people, all of them have been killed!"

He reported to Bai Yan.

With the arrival of the bamboo slip, whether it was Bai Yan who was looking at the bamboo slips or Xun Shuo, they all faintly smelled some blood, and the source should be the sword of the bamboo slip.

"General, can you give an order to get rid of those warriors in the city?"

He looked at Bai Yan and asked.

I don't know if I don't know, I was startled, those honest people in the city before, whether they went to Zhongli's clan to drink or met the general, they were all respectful, and they actually sent servants one after another, trying every means to report to the Chu army.

If it weren't for the general's prediction, he sent people to squat early in the morning, maybe he would have been kept in the dark by those scholars.

"Not necessarily! Don't bother with it! ”

Bai Yan heard the words of the Yan, raised his head and said to the Yan.

Hearing this, he was full of astonishment, and he was very puzzled, those scholars had clearly betrayed the general in secret, why did the general let those scholars go.

But before he could ask anything, he saw that Xun Shuo was also signaling him to go down and rest first.

Looked at.

He could only salute Bai Yan, and turned around and left with doubts in his head.

In the study.

After Bai Yan left, he turned his head to look at Master Xu.

Xu Shi naturally knew how dangerous her actions were, so he lowered his head and didn't dare to speak.

"I have asked Zhongli Hao to arrange a carriage and wait twenty miles outside the city, early tomorrow morning, the Qin army will leave the city, and the disguised soldiers will follow the city!"

Bai Yan opened his mouth and said.

It's no wonder that Bai Yan is so careful, it's really that Bai Yan doesn't dare to take risks, in Chudi, there are too many people who want him Bai Yan to die!

After the arrival of Master Xu, Bai Yan had to guard against not only the assassins in the city, but also the warriors in the city.

In addition to the Zhongli clan, not to mention the nearby township pavilions, even the total number of scholars in the city is as many as twenty or thirty, although these scholars are small, and the dozens of scholars are not as large as the Zhongli clan, but Bai Yan will not despise them.

"Yes! Checkmate! ”

Xu Shi nodded obediently and said softly, not daring to disobey Bai Yan's words.

"Do those scholars really want to stay?"

Xun Shuo glanced at Xu Shi at this time, and then looked at Bai Yan and asked.

In Zhongwu City, except for Bai Yan, only Xun Shuo was the one who knew from the beginning that all the scholars would betray Bai Yan in secret, except for the Zhongli clan.

Xun Shuo knew that the combined ability of those scholars was not strong, so he was unwilling to surrender to Qin in his heart, and it was no exaggeration to say that he was not weak Qu Jingzhao and other Chu clans.

The main reason why Qu Jingzhao and other scholars are unwilling to surrender to Qin is the fief they have in the Chu State, if Qin destroys Chu, even if they are given feudal officials, they will not have the same status as they are now in the Chu State, not to mention the inheritance of fiefs from generation to generation, and all of them will eventually be lost.

And these small clans in Zhongwu City are the same reason, they admire Qin, it is forced by the situation, and the Qin State destroys Chu, they do not contribute, naturally there is no benefit, and there will even be rules and regulations, it is better to be treated in Chu State.

The most important point is that the Zhongli clan was like a big mountain above their heads, pressing them, and now the Zhongli Hao and Zhongli Chuan clans have completely surrendered to the Qin State, which gives all the Shi clans except the Zhongli clan the hope of rising.

This is also why there are so many assassins lurking in Zhongwu City, and it is difficult to completely eliminate them! And the assassins obviously came from all over the world, but after coming to Zhongwu City, everyone was well-informed and knew to get acquainted.

Those scholars really thought that Bai Yan, who had been drinking with them in the Zhongli clan in the past, didn't know anything.

"The battle is imminent, it's useless to get rid of them, it's better to keep them!"

Bai Yan turned his head to look at Xun Shuo.

The Zhongli clan's power in Zhongwu City is too huge, if the Qin State cannot win this battle, the Zhongli Hao clan will lose everything, and if the Qin State wins, these warriors will secretly and invisibly form a constraint on the Zhongli clan.

The demise of a scholar clan is often due to overheating of the brain, and a powerful family will be wiped out, and it will often be unable to wake up from the hot brain because of the loss of opponents.

"General! Tian Xian asked to see him outside the house! ”

A soldier suddenly hurried to the study and reported to Bai Yanyu.

"Tian Xian?"

"Tian Xian?"

Hearing the words of the soldiers, not to mention Bai Yan, even Xun Shuo looked surprised, and glanced at Bai Yan with a stunned face.

How could Tian Xian be here?

Before Yao Jia left, he clearly said that the one who followed the Qi Guo Zhan clan to visit the mysterious old man was the third son under Tian Ding, Tian Xian.

Now Yao Jia is leaving, but Tian Xian is here instead.

"Please come in!"

Bai Yan commanded the soldiers, watched the soldiers leave, and then slowly got up.

Seeing this, Xun Shuo on the side also got up and followed Bai Yan and walked towards the outside of the study together to welcome Tian Xian's arrival.

in the yard.

Not to mention Bai Yan and Tian Xian, even Xun Shuo and Tian Xian are no strangers, the three of them met, feeling the cold breeze in the courtyard, the three of them did not have too much subtle politeness, and under Bai Yan's invitation, they returned directly to the study.

"Along the way, I look forward to drinking this hot tea! It's good to be in time! ”

Tian Xian felt the warmth of the fire on the side, and after watching Master Xu pour tea for himself, he was not polite, and after raising his hand to cover his face, he took the tea and blew it while drinking it slowly.

"Why did Brother Xian suddenly come here today? Previously, Xun Shuo heard that Qi Guo found the old man who wrote the book......"

After Xun Shuo and Bai Yan glanced at each other, they looked at Tian Xian curiously and took the lead in asking.

Tian Xian drank a cup of tea, and after his body warmed up, he put down the teacup, looked at Xun Shuo and smiled bitterly, and then looked at Bai Yan and signaled because of him.

"Huh?"

Seeing this, Bai Yan was a little surprised.

But then in my mind, I couldn't help but think of Tian Xian's father, Tian Ding, who had been scolded by the Qi people in Qi for a period of time.

Tian Xian is here to settle accounts?

Bai Yan looked at Tian Xian with doubts, then looked at Xun Shuo's gaze, and found that Xun Shuo seemed to think the same way.

"Don't think about it! Now that the Qin army is gathering in the city, I am afraid that there will be no less than 100,000 soldiers and horses. ”

Tian Xian looked at Bai Yan, and then joked with a smile.

Afraid that Bai Yan and Xun Shuo would misunderstand, after Tian Xian finished speaking, he took out a roll of bamboo slips from his sleeve pocket and handed it to Bai Yan.

"Father asked me to deliver it myself!"

Tian Xian said, looking at Bai Yan with his eyes, and a smile suddenly appeared on his face.

Bai Yan looked at Tian Xian's appearance with doubts in his eyes, but he still took the bamboo slip, opened it and looked at it, and after a few breaths, Bai Yan suddenly looked shocked, and the whole person stood up suddenly.

Under the incomprehensible gaze of Xun Shuo and Xu Shi, Bai Yan stood at the wooden table, breathing rapidly, looking at the contents of the bamboo slips in disbelief.

Even in the end, Bai Yan watched it three or four ......times in a row, until he was sure that he was not mistaken.

At this time, Bai Yan was a little irrepressibly excited, followed by doubts, and a trace of uneasiness caused by the fear that the news was fake.

All along, Bai Yan couldn't think of it anyway...... You'll get this bamboo slip!

I couldn't believe that Tian Ding would actually say that if the Chu State was destroyed, he would send his daughter to the Qin State and send it to him to become a ......

Could it be what you said last time in Suiyang City?

I still learned that Jing Qi and Chang Wenjun ...... Defeated?

"Don't worry! My father has always said yes, yes! ”

Tian Xian seemed to see Bai Yan's uneasiness and suspicion in Xun Shuo's puzzled gaze, and said with a smile on his face.

Not to mention Bai Yan, it was Tian Xian, who was not frightened by this bamboo slip in the past.

However, Tian Xian did not object to the matter of Bai Yan and Xiaomei at all, after all, apart from Bai Yan's background, there was almost nothing wrong with him, not to mention that Bai Yan had saved his life in the past.

"Father? Tian Ding? ”

Xun Shuo was puzzled, and when he heard Tian Xian's words, he was a little curious about what Tian Ding promised Bai Yan in the bamboo slip to make Bai Yan so out of shape.

"General! General Yang Yan and General Yan Mao have all led their troops to Zhongwu City! ”

At this time, a soldier hurriedly came to the study to report.

When Bai Yan heard this, his expression was still a little trance-like, and his eyes were in disbelief, and it was difficult to return to his senses for a long time.

"General!"

Master Xu's voice woke Bai Yan up, and Bai Yan came to his senses.

"Good!"

Bai Yan replied to the soldiers, while putting away the bamboo slips in his hand, Yang Yan and Yan Mao led the army to arrive, and he and Xun Shuo had to go to the camp.

………………………

At night.

Bai Yan was alone, kneeling at the wooden table, still a little distracted.

Tian Xian and Xun Shuo were both invited to Zhongli's to drink, Bai Yan was going to lead the troops to leave tomorrow, so he didn't go, looking at the bamboo slip in his hand at this moment, what came to Bai Yan's mind was the scene when he saw Tian Feiyan for the first time by the river.

The scenes in his memory, as well as remembering the last time they met, Bai Yan couldn't help but miss it in his heart.

Looking at the bamboo slip in his hand, Bai Yan couldn't help but have some expectations in his heart.

Although he didn't understand why Tian Ding suddenly made this decision, no matter what Tian Ding planned, he could at least get this bamboo slip......

In the future, we will look at things step by step, and everything can be faced after all, and there are always more ways than difficulties.

If at the beginning, when Bai Yan and Tian Feiyan got along, she still complained in her heart, saying that her future lover must be indispensable, but she didn't expect that after leaving Qi State, Tian Feiyan was the person Bai Yan missed, and she was also the woman she wanted to see and marry the most.

Long.

When there was the sound of footsteps, Bai Yan watched the two servants help the drunken Tian Xian to the study, and then came back to his senses.

After the two servants left, Bai Yan looked at Tian Xian, whose face was flushed, but seemed to be reasonable, leaning on the wooden table, a little crying and laughing, so he could only hold the teapot on the side and pour Tian Xian a cup of tea.

"I heard that tomorrow I will lead the troops out of the city and will fight with the Chu army? Can you be sure? ”

Tian Xian propped himself up, squinting his eyes slightly, and seemed to be a little sleepy, but his eyes looked directly at Bai Yan.

Bai Yan heard Tian Xian's inquiry, nodded, and then shook his head again.

"Beware of Xiang Yan, it was not easy to kill before, Jing Qi and Chang Wenjun! Smoke can ~ care about your ......"

While Tian Xian was talking, he burped, took the tea and drank it, and after a few sips of tea, the whole person felt a lot better and more sober.

When Bai Yan heard Tian Xian's words, Tian Feiyan's appearance appeared in his mind, and he thought that Tian Feiyan had silently taken care of his family and grandmother for more than five years, and his heart was full of warmth.

"The same is true for Shuxian! The news that Qi Guo has found the old man has been spread, and it will definitely cause chaos! ”

Bai Yan also instructed Tian Xian to pay attention to safety, not only Yao Jia, but also countless other forces, who were also secretly trying to find the footprints of Tian Xian and the Zhan clan.

Fortunately, Tian Ding had taken precautions and ordered Qi Jizheng to protect Tian Xian to leave, otherwise Tian Xian would not be safe.

"Spread it? Hehehe, that old man, is not an old man who writes books at all! ”

When Tian Xian heard Bai Yan's words, his drunken face smiled as if he was drunk, shook his head, and looked at Bai Yan's puzzled gaze: "If it is really an old man who writes books, how can my father let me follow the Zhan clan alone?" ”

After Tian Xian finished speaking, he smiled smugly and looked at Bai Yan.

"Xian, his brother, and even his father, although they have never seen the old man, they are not Yan's sister, but the father's daughter!"

Tian Xian's implication was that they had never seen the old man, but they knew Tian Feiyan.

When Bai Yan heard Tian Xian's words, he thought about it, and then he understood, it turned out that at the beginning, Tian Ding, Tian Xian and the others knew that the old man found by the Zhan clan was not the person who was rumored.

"Father's trip to let Xian leave Linzi, first, I'm afraid because of the people in the city!"

When Tian Xian said this, he looked at Bai Yan helplessly, now the more Bai Yan has contributed to the Qin State, the more all the Qi people resented their father.

"Second, I'm afraid that when there is something important, let Xian be able to meet in private!"

Tian Xian then glanced at the bamboo slip in front of Bai Yan.

Thinking back to what his father seemed to say that day, but in the end he hesitated and didn't speak, Tian Xian always felt that there must be something between his father and Bai Yan that he and his brother didn't know.

But now my father doesn't say it, even this bamboo slip is an urgent letter received by Tian Xian, what can Tian Xian do.

Looking at Bai Yan with an embarrassed face, Tian Xian didn't intend to hide it, after all, his father's actions had already clearly expressed his position, but suddenly thinking of something, Tian Xian instantly cheered up, and after making sure that there was no one else in the study, he laughed.

"Yan! Father had already found out that Lu Qi was raising grain and grass in the Qi Kingdom! ”

Tian Xian said, halfway through the words, the rest of Tian Xian didn't say anything.

Bai Yan heard Tian Xian's words, if it was the past, Bai Yan would still be worried, Tian Ding would be embarrassed by Lu Qi in Qi after he knew it, but with Tian Ding's bamboo slip today, or a promise, and Tian Xian said that Tian Ding knew a long time ago, Bai Yan still didn't understand the meaning of Tian Xian's words.

Bai Yan thought about it, but finally didn't speak, looking at the bamboo slip in his hand, now in Bai Yan's heart, what he wanted to do most was to destroy Chu!

The state of Chu was destroyed.

Bai Yan can marry the woman he wants to marry the most, and he can go back to the home he has been missing for five years and see his dearest family.

After half an hour of small talk.

"Late at night, rest early!"

Bai Yan looked at the bamboo slip, put it away, then looked up at Tian Xian, and bowed his hand.

Seeing this, Tian Xian smiled and shook his head helplessly, knowing that Bai Yan was going to lead the troops tomorrow and needed to rest earlier.

"You must be careful this time, if necessary, I will leave someone in the Zhongli clan, and I can order someone to write and report!"

Tian Xian returned the salute.

Bai Yan heard Tian Xian's words, looked at Tian Xian in front of him, and suddenly thought of Qi Jia's matter in his heart, especially thinking that Tian Wei was still the general of Qi State, but after hesitating, Bai Yan still decided not to worry, and then talk about it after looking at the situation first, if he could not speak, he would not speak.

Thinking of this, Bai Yan nodded, got up and put the teapot on the fire, and then turned to leave.

Tian Xian looked at Bai Yan's departing back, his face was full of smiles, when mentioning Lu Qi's matter, Bai Yan could not speak, but Bai Yan's background was destined to lack Bai Yan's connections in the future.

Next.

Zhongwu City, before dawn, in the castle guard's mansion, just as Tian Xian was snoring in the room.

At this moment, the crowd outside Zhongwu City surged, the dense Qin army soldiers held Changge, countless Qin flags fluttered in the cold wind, and those torches, outside the dim Zhongwu City, spread all over the plain, like starlight.

Yang Yan, Yan Mao, Yan Mao and other generals of the Qin army were all riding at the city gate and were talking.

At this time.

There was the sound of horses' hooves in the city, and everyone looked, when they saw Bai Yan and arrived with a group of cronies, Yang Yan and the others stopped talking, looked at Bai Yan, and bowed their hands.

"General!"

"General!!

In the eyes of Yang Yan, Yan Mao and others, Bai Yan rode out of the city gate.

Bai Yan came to the outside of the city, and in the cold wind, he looked at the dense army of the Qin State outside the city, with no end in sight.

"Let's go!"

Bai Yan opened his mouth and said, and then took Yang Yan, Yan Mao and other generals to ride horses.

"Let's go!!"

When the general heard Bai Yan's order, he gave an order to the soldier in charge of the order.

In an instant, with the roar outside the city, the soldiers holding the herald rode in the Qin army, constantly wandering back and forth, with the sound of the order, the sea of Qin soldiers formed by no less than 100,000 Qin soldiers began to turn into a black flow of people, walking towards the west in a steady stream.
